Improve Your English Pronunciation.

The sounds in American English are quite different from the sounds in other languages. Perhaps your native language doesn’t have the [ər] sound as in bird and earth, the [i] sound as in hit or kiss, [ch] sound as in “chicken,” or the [th] sound as in “thanks.” Maybe you’ve wondered how American English speakers move their mouth, lips, and tongue to pronounce the sounds in English. Well, you will learn all about how to correctly move your mouth for American English pronunciation, which will result in improving your accent in English.

For each of the vowel and consonant sounds, you will first learn how to shape your mouth. You’ll see a short video clip during the lecture that demonstrates how to make the sound. Then, you’ll practice the pronunciation of the basic sound itself, then words using the sound in various positions, and finally sentences and phrases that have words using those vowel sounds. Then there are exercises contrasting the various sounds and review exercises and quizzes to help you check your pronunciation and listening.
